WWE Name Emma and Liv Morgan as Two of The ‘Most Underrated Superstars’

WWE has compiled a new Editor’s Choice list of ‘The 8 Most Underrated Superstars in WWE right now’ and two female Superstars make the list: Emma and Liv Morgan.

WWE.com spotlights Emma’s early NXT days and her only Divas Title opportunity taking place at WrestleMania 30 during Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational:

The “Four Horsewomen” revolutionized women’s wrestling in WWE. But before they ever main-evented a WWE event — before they even competed at an NXT TakeOver — Emma was raising the bar for female competition in NXT. She stretches opponents with innovative submissions and makes them writhe in pain with suplexes.

Unlike her four “Horsewomen” contemporaries, though, Emma has never received a one-on-one opportunity for a Women’s Championship in WWE. Her lone Divas Title Match was a Battle Royal. She’s overdue for the spotlight. The rest of the locker room should be afraid of what she does when she gets it.

Meanwhile, the site highlights Liv Morgan’s battles with the Iconic Duo Billie Kay and Peyton Royce on NXT and her previous one-on-one battle against the NXT Women’s Champion Asuka:

As one of many female Superstars standing in the shadow of NXT Women’s Champion Asuka, Liv Morgan might need to hustle a bit more to make a name for herself. She missed the window to test her mettle against The Four Horsewomen of NXT, then quickly fell in defeat in her one title opportunity against Asuka.

Yet, unlike many of her peers, Morgan knows what it’s like to go one-on-one with a dominant NXT Women’s Champion. She can stand her ground against two rivals at the same time, just as she’s had to do repeatedly in her battles with Peyton Royce & Billie Kay. Now, she’s fighting her way back into the main spotlight, competing against the likes of Royce & Kay as well as the now-injured Ember Moon.

She is doing everything to put herself in the right place in NXT. Now, she just needs to rise up at the right time to earn the respect and accolades that await this budding Superstar in the very near future.
